UW
vs. Stanford: 11/11/00
The Huskies traveled to their first
away games of the year in the PAC-8 conference by competing against
Stanford in California. Stanford had their infamous band (well, a faction
of it) out in full force, which added to the excitement of the game. No
taunting yells, or big horn blows at the Husky team, or "Death
March" tunes played for the coaching staff could deter the Huskies
from scoring. All in good fun and enjoyed by all, the band and screaming
trees could not help the Crimson put the puck in the net. The final score
was Huskies 8 and Stanford 2.
The Huskies came out strong and
scored within 50 seconds of the start of the game. Brian Mead scored from
a pass from David Gasperino. Two minutes later Husky Matt Carlson scored
when the goalie cleared the puck from a shot from Clay Josephy, but the
goal was pulled back for an in-the-crease violation. Stanford had some
good rushes and chances but Husky goalie, Scott Southard, made big saves
on the odd-man rushes. It took the Huskies 14 minutes of hard work and
dominated play to score again. This time it was Paul Margolis who crossed
the Stanford zone high and passed to Gasperino who was set up on the far
corner. Gasperino backhanded the pass into the net. However, with 2
minutes to go, the Huskies had a breakdown in there own zone, which
allowed Stanford to get on the scoreboard in the first period. The time
ended with the Huskies leading, 2-1.
The Huskies came into the second
period with renewed energy. The Dawgs scored within 30 seconds of the
start when defenseman Mike Woods shot the puck off the boards and to
center ice. Clay Josephy shot a one-timer passed the Stanford goalie.
Three minutes later Stanford responded on a power play after the Huskies
were called for interference. It would be the last goal Stanford would
score for the night. A minute later the Huskies broke-out of their zone
with great precision, Brian Mead cut across the neutral zone, beat a
Stanford defense and then the goalie. It was his second goal of the night.
The third period was all Huskies.
The team dominated the play and was clicking as a full unit on the ice. At
16:15 the Dawgs were on a power play, this time for a Stanford
interference call. The puck was shot in by Brett Lawrence, which caused a
pile up at the mouth of the net. Clay Josephy was able to butt-end the
puck in the net as he lay underneath both teams. It was his second goal of
the night. The Huskies continued to dominate the play, kill off penalties
and shoot on net. Eight minutes after the last goal, Steve Hyun shot the
puck across the ice to Marty Boyd who placed it in the upper right corner
of the goal. Three minutes later the Huskies were short-handed, because a
holding call, but were able to score none-the-less. Sam Kim fore-checked
the puck away from Stanford and passed to Clay Josphey, who beat a player
and had the patience to wait for the goalie to go down on the ice before
chipping it into the upper right corner. Josephy would end the night with
a hat trick. And then, with less than two minutes to go, the Huskies final
goal was by Marty Boyd off a pass from Steve Hyun, in similar fashion as
they scored earlier.
The final was 8-2 in favor of the
Huskies. Goalie Scott Southard game up big several times when the Dawgs
back-check let down. Southard took 19 shots from Stanford while the
Crimson's goalie took 53 shots from the Huskies. Husky Clay Josephy had 3
goals, while Brian Mead and Marty Boyd had two goals apiece.
